In the wild There are around 100 species of gerbils, which live in dry grasslands and semi-deserts across Africa, the Middle East, India, and Central Asia. Gerbils are members of the rodent family. This is the largest group of mammals, and contains over 2,000 different species of varying shapes and sizes. The word rodent comes from the Latin word “rodere,” meaning to gnaw, and gnawing is one thing all rodents have in common.
